Cincinnati Commercial Gazetre The Indian

Chess champions. in our opinion, are made by
conclusive play over the board, and in no other
way Some of the leading PLAYERS of Indiana
are wonderfully tangled up this subject The
title of champion is claimed by three of them,
and not one has earned it. Some unfinished
tournaments and matches have been played,
and have ended in claims, counter-claims. and
objection fled The chief business of the
State tournaments seems to be to pass resolu-
tons. Some of the would be champions are
afraid of the real test of skill. Unless they
cultivate more vaor the chess public will take
little interest in them A champion who has to
hire a lawyer is a weak invention.

Dear Sir-I am one of those who have been in

has supply of gas amounting to 81, 600, 900
cubic feet per day, which would be sufficient to
furnish part of the city, which they are ready to
begin to pipe at once. 1 believe their demand
for increase of the rate to within % percent.
of the cost of coal is unreasonable. But have
it very direct from your company that you are
not satisfied With the present rate, and before
beginning TO pipe the city, which from present
appearances you cannot hope to do before spring,
you will demand a change of the ordinance If
there is to be change some months hence to
suit your purposes, why not have the change
now, that the company which is ready may
pipe at once, if the change is satisfactory to
theml To reduce this practical question to
issue /, therefore, invite answer to the fol-
lowing questions, to be published in the Jour
nal:
First-Win the Indianapolis Natural-gas
Company accept the present ordinance without
change, and will they have the city plped within
one year,
SecondAt what price will the indianapolis
Natural-gas Company contract TO furnish gas
TO manufacturers outside the city limits2
Third-If a change is TO be asked in the
dinance, in what respect the change be
made and what prices will DE demanded
For one, feel that il your company does not
intend to come in under the present ordinance.

bind yourselves. .rifling with the most
vital interests of the city of Indianapolis in re-
fusing to amend the ordinance to secure
the gas through the company prepared to fur

the Standard company, give you time for
prospecting, and vet when you have secured suf-
fcient gas you may come in and demand in
crease to the prices asked by the Standard COM

to prospect you should give some assurance of
what your demand will be- Whatever may be
said of the Standard company being unreason-
able. they are at least frank about it. They say

intense excitement, forged ahead and was
leading by nearly two lengths. He kept

he could not get in line with him. When
about mile had been covered Teemer went
slightly out of his course, but quickly observed
his mistake. Hanlan kept straight for his
buoy, and at this time it was thought he was
leading, but when Teemer got in to his own
water again those who thought
were quickly undeceived. At the turning
buoy both were too far south, and Teemer
struck his buoy which lost him few strokes.
He turned his buoy five seconds ahead of Han

three lengths. Teemer, at this time, was pull
